Peace Among Us

His first night back in his and Imena's den had passed as smoothly as he could have expected. He had settled down a good distance away from her, knowing that this whole process would take plenty of time. He knew Imena would let him know when, if ever, he would be allowed to sleep beside her as he once had. Till then, he was content with merely sharing a den with her. It was Imena's voice that made him stir the next morning. Cael pulled in a deeper breath as he was pulled out of the deep sleep he had fallen into. His ears twitched as he listened, only catching the ending of her comforting words. "...just a dream. Come here." He blinked open his gaze, but didn't move just yet. Laying still, he looked up to see another wolf laying next to Imena. He blinked with surprise, his still groggy brain taking several moments to put two and two together. This must be the Amia she had spoken of the day before. From what he could gather the girl had come in while they were sleeping, and from what he heard Imena say she must have had a nightmare. The girl was hiding so that he couldn't see her face. Cael wondered why she would hide, but he didn't ask. Instead, when Imena looked over to him he simply gave her a small, understanding smile and closed his eyes again, pretending to still be asleep for the young girl's sake. He wouldn't intrude when Amia clearly needed Imena. He was the stranger here now and he would give her as much time as she needed. Speech Thought Others |
